Hey guys! Back with chapter 4. And now it's time that Yukimuto duels to gain entry into the Maiami Championship. Enjoy!
Chapter 4:
After my duel with Siora yesterday, I enrolled into Yuya's school the next day and I was getting a lot of attention from many girls basically. After school was over, me, Yuya, and Yuzu walked out the gates heading for You Show until I heard Yuya groan about something. "Something wrong, Yuya?" I asked.
He turned to me. "It's just that everyone in the school won't duel me! I just need 4 more wins in order to qualify for the Maiami Championship!" He complained. "Hmm? The Maiami Championship?" I wondered.
"Oh right! The Maiami Championship is a competition in where we duel each other in the tournament and is everyone's way to become a pro." Yuya explained. "Ah. I see. You want to be a professional duelist?"
"Yup! In order to qualify, you need to duel 50 times with a 60% win rate or just win 6 times in a row." Hmm. Sounds simple enough. I checked my duel disk and saw that I had won 3 duels in a row.(The ones with Yuya during our second duel and Siora were unofficial) "Well. I need to win 3 more times to qualify. But who I should duel is going to be a problem." I said scratching my head. I shrugged. "Well I'll find out later." I said. They both nodded as the kids just arrived. Yuya made some dumb plan to duel Yuzu and the three kids but they all refused. He even wanted to duel me and I also refused.
"Oh! Guys. Go to You Show without me. I have to be somewhere." Yuzu said as she ran off. 'What's she up to?' "You know what. I'll also see you guys later. I have to be somewhere too. Don't worry! I'll be back at the house by night!" I shouted as I ran after Yuzu to see what she was up to.
After an hour of following her, I stopped and saw Sora was looking at the LDS building suspiciously. I walked up to him. "Hey." He suddenly jumped and turned. "Oh. It's just you, Yuki. Don't do that to me again." Sora said. I nodded. "So why are you looking at the LDS building for?" I asked.
"Um. I was trying to know any ways in the building and duel Reiji Akaba. I mean really! After seeing such a strong opponent like him, I just want to!" I was about to say something until Yuzu appeared. "Oh. Hey, Yuzu." I greeted. "Hey, Yuki. What are you doing here?" She asked. "I had to do something until I came across Sora looking at the LDS building." I answered and pointed. "He says he wants to duel Reiji Akaba."
"What!? Are you out of your mind!?" Yuzu scolded. She then sighed as she grabbed Sora's arm and he welped. "W-What are you doing?" Sora asked. "Come on. I need to ask you a favor." Yuzu said as she ran and I followed.
I caught up to them and saw them enter a warehouse. I went inside and saw Yuzu begging Sora for something. "Hey! What are you doing here?" I asked. The two turned to me and said. "Well Yuzu here wants me to tutor her in Fusion Summoning." Sora answered. Fusion Summon? Why would she want to do that? "Why though?" I asked. "It's because of my duel with Masumi that I want to get stronger after I lost that duel." Yuzu answered. I nodded and smiled. I put my hand on her shoulder and said,"I understand. You want to get stronger. That's good. But are sure you want to take this step to the next level?" I asked and she nodded quickly. I smiled.
"Alright then. How about it, Sora?" I asked as he was thinking about it. He smiled. "Sure! Why not?" Sora agreed as he took a card from his pocket and gave it to Yuzu. "This spell card is the main card used for Fusions. Polymerization." Sora said as Yuzu took the card and looked at what it said. Then, Sora turned and shouted. "Who's there!?" The figure jumped out and drew out his duel disk with the blade on while Sora did the same as they clashed.
"Who would you be? You don't look like your from this world." Sora said.
"Neither do you!" The figure shouted. I ran up to him to try and tackle him but in doing so, Yuzu's bracelet glowed as he and I disappeared. "W-Where are they?" Yuzu wondered.
A flash of pink light shined as me and the other guy were thrown in an alleyway. I rubbed my head to ease the pain. "That's gonna leave a mark." I then felt something in my other hand. It looked to be a mask of some kind and that's when I realized it belonged to the masked man. I looked up at him and what I saw shocked me. He stood up and turned to me. 'He looks like Yuya.' "Yuya! Is that you? What's with the change in style?" I asked as he tilted his head in confusion. "I am not the one you call Yuya." He answered.
"Huh? If you're not, then who are you?" I demanded for an answer. "My name is Yuto." Yuto? I ask myself why he looks like Yuya. "Why do you look like Yuya then? Are you his twin brother?"
"That, I cannot tell you. You wouldn't believe me if I told you." Yuto answered as he turned ready to leave until I stopped him. "Stop! I challenge you to a duel! And if I win, you tell me everything!" I demanded. He merely hmphed me and then turned. "Fine then. But if I win, then you stay out of this." I nodded.
"DUEL!"
Turn 1
Yukimuto: 4000
Hand: 5
Yuto: 4000
Hand: 5
"I'll start off. I activate Card Destruction. We both discard our hands and draw the amount we discarded." Yuto discarded 4 cards as I discarded Darkus Siege, Darkus Wormquake, Darkus Element Fusion, Advance Draw, and One for One and we drew.
"I summon Phantom Knights of Dusty Robe."
Phantom Knights of Dusty Robe: Lv. 3 DARK Warrior ATK: 800/ DEF: 1000
"And since I control a lv 3 Phantom Knight on my field, I can special summon Phantom Knights of Silent Boots from my hand."
Phantom Knights of Silent Boots: Lv. 3 DARK Warrior ATK: 200/ DEF: 1200
"I overlay my lv 3 Phantom Knights to build the overlay network!" the two monsters turned purple before going into a galaxy portal. "Souls of warriors fallen on the battlefield, revive now and become light to rend the darkness! Xyz Summon! The Phantom Knights of Break Sword!"
The Phantom Knights of Break Sword: RANK 3 DARK Warrior ATK: 2000/ DEF: 1000
'So he's starting off with an Xyz Summon.' I thought.
"I set two cards facedown and end my turn."
Turn 2
Yukimuto: 4000
Hand: 5
Yuto: 4000
Hand: 0
"My turn. I draw!" I drew my card and looked at him. 'What's he planning. He must have some reason for discarding his hand last turn with Card Destruction. It doesn't matter.'
"I summon Darkus Mantris in ATK mode!"
Darkus Mantris: Lv. 4 DARK Insect ATK: 2000/ DEF: 200
"When this monster is summoned successfully, I can special summon a Darkus monster from my graveyard in ATK mode. Come back to the field! Darkus Siege!"
Darkus Siege: Lv. 4 DARK Warrior ATK: 1900/ DEF: 1200
"And when I control a Darkus monster on my field, I can special summon Darkus Serpenoid in ATK mode."
Darkus Serpenoid: Lv. 3 DARK Reptile ATK: 1500/ DEF: 1100
"Battle! Siege attack his Break Sword!" Siege twirled his spear and threw it at Break Sword. "At this moment, I activate his effect! When Siege attacks a monster with higher ATK points, I can discard a Darkus monster and have him gain 100 ATK points times the level of the discarded monster until the end of the turn. I discard Darkus Manion and have him gain 800 ATK points since Manion was lv 4!"
Siege ATK: 1900-2700
"I play the continuous trap Gravity Bind!" A powerful force forced my monsters except Serpenoid down. "As long as this trap remains active, all lv 4 or higher monsters can't attack." I gritted my teeth. "I'll set two cards facedown and end my turn."
Siege ATK: 2700-1900
Turn 3
Yukimuto: 4000
Hand: 1
Yuto: 4000
Hand: 0
"My turn. Draw."
"Battle! Break Sword attack Siege!" The headless monster with a soul raised it's sword and destroyed Siege. "Grgh."
Yukimuto: 4000-3900
"I'll set one card facedown and end my turn."
Turn 4
Yukimuto: 3900
Hand: 1
Yuto: 4000
Hand: 0
"Tch. Draw!" 'Oh great. What now? As long as Gravity Bind is out, my monsters can't attack. But unfortunately for him, I can do some damage to him this turn.'
"From my hand, I activate Graceful Charity!" An angel appeared as it made rain and it landed on my deck. "This spell let's me draw 3 cards and then discard 2 to the grave." I drew and then discarded Darkus Centipoid and Darkus Stinglash.
"I summon the tuner monster Darkus Limulus in ATK mode!"
Darkus Limulus: Lv. 1 DARK Fish/Tuner ATK: 100/ DEF: 500
"Now from my hand I play Card of Sanctity. Both players draw until they are holding six cards. But now Limulus' effect kicks in! As long as he's on the field, you can only draw half the cards from my spells." I said.
"Hmph. Fine by me." Yuto said as he drew three cards.
"I now tune my lv 4 Mantris with my lv 3 Serpenoid and lv 1 Limulus." As Limulus turned into 1 green ring, Mantris and Serpenoid followed going through the rings. "Dragon of great darkness, arise from the abyss and unleash your great power! Synchro Summon! Come forth! Level 8! Darkus Hydranoid!"
Darkus Hydranoid: Lv. 8 DARK Dragon/Synchro ATK: 3000/ DEF: 2500
"A Synchro Summon? Who are you?" Yuto shouted.
"You'll find out. I activate my trap Trap Stun! For this turn, all trap cards lose their effects!"
"I don't think so! From my graveyard, I activate the spell Phantom Spear. This card negates the activation of a trap and destroys it." My trap bursted as a spear appeared. "And also! The opposing player takes 100 points of damage." The spear launched and barely missed me as I dodged it and saw it break the bricks. "H-How is this possible? This isn't even an Action Field."
Yukimuto: 3900-3800
"With your trap negated, you can't attack. Too bad for you."
"Tch. I set two cards facedown and end my turn."
Turn 5
Yukimuto: 3800
Hand: 4
Yuto: 4000
Hand: 3
"My turn. Draw."
"I activate the spell Magic Planter. By sending a face up continuous trap to the graveyard, I draw two cards. I send Gravity Bind to draw two cards."
"Are you sure? You just left yourself vulnerable." I asked.
"Worry about yourself. I activate the equip spell Phantom Soul Sword. This spell increases my monster's ATK by 600 for every dark monster on the field. I have my Break Sword along with your Hydranoid so therefore Break Sword gains 1200 ATK points!"
Break Sword ATK: 2000-3200
"Battle! Break Sword attack Hydranoid!" The headless monster with a soul raised it's sword once again until I stopped him. "I activate the trap Scrap Iron Scarecrow!" A scarecrow appeared as it blocked the attack. "This trap negates your attack once and then sets itself back down instead of going to the graveyard."
"Hmph. I'll set two cards facedown and end my turn."
Turn 6
Yukimuto: 3800
Hand: 4
Yuto: 4000
Hand: 2
"My turn. Draw!" 'He has 4 facedown cards in his backrow. I need to be careful or I'm toast.'
"I activate the spell Heavy Storm! This spell destroys all the spell and traps on the field!" A hurricane formed as it came down to destroy all the spells and traps but disintegrated. "What the!?"
"I play the counter trap card Phantom Reverse. This trap negates the activation of a spell card and destroys it along with one of your facedown cards." The hurricane turned into a twister as it hit my facedown Scrap Iron Scarecrow.
"Dammit. I activate the spell Blustering Winds! This card increases Hydranoid's ATK by 1000 until my next standby phase."
Hydranoid ATK: 3000-4000
"Battle! Hydranoid attack Break Sword! Chaos of the Darkness!" Hydranoid shot it's purple lightning attack and destroyed Break Sword. "Ngh!"
Yuto: 4000-3200
"At this moment, Break Sword's effect activates! When this card leaves the field, I can special summon it's Xyz materials as lv 4 monsters. Return, Dusty Robe and Silent Boots!"
Phantom Knights of Dusty Robe: Lv. 3-4 DARK Warrior ATK: 800/ DEF: 1000
Phantom Knights of Silent Boots: Lv. 3-4 DARK Warrior ATK: 200/ DEF: 1200
"Hydranoid's ability activates! When he destroys a monster by battle, all monsters on your field with 2000 or less ATK are now destroyed!" Hydranoid shot two more blasts but were deflected. "Huh? What the!?"
"I played the trap Breakthrough Skill. This trap negated the effect of your Hydranoid for this turn."
"Tch. I set one card facedown and end my turn."
Turn 7
Yukimuto: 3800
Hand: 2
Yuto: 3200
Hand: 2
"My turn. Draw."
"I now overlay my lv 4 Phantom Knights once again!" the two monsters turned purple once again before going into a galaxy portal. "Fang's of pitch-black darkness rise up against the foolish oppression! Descend now! Xyz Summon! Come forth! Rank 4! Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon!"
Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon: RANK 4 DARK Dragon/Xyz ATK: 2500/DEF: 2000 OU: 2
"Dark Rebellion...Xyz Dragon? What kind of dragon is that!?"
"You're defeat. I activate Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon's effect! By using one overlay unit, it can halve the ATK of an opponent's lv 5 or higher monster until the end of the turn and increase it's ATK by that amount! Treason Discharge!" Dark Rebellion's wings extended as purple lightning struck Hydranoid.
Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon OU: 2-1
Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon ATK: 2500-4500
Darkus Hydranoid ATK: 4000-2000
"Dammit. His ATK is higher than mine."
"I'm not done yet! I detach another overlay unit play his effect again. Treason Discharge!" Yuto cried.
Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon OU: 1-0
Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon ATK: 4500-5500
Darkus Hydranoid ATK: 2000-1000
"5500 ATK points!?" I exclaimed.
"Battle! Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon. Attack Hydranoid! Revolt of the lightning! DISOBEY!"
"Tch! I activate the quick play spell Ego Boost! This card increases Hydranoid's ATK by 1000 during this battle!"
Darkus Hydranoid ATK: 1000-2000
Dark Rebellion dashed ahead as it stabbed Hydranoid and took a huge chunk of my LP. "Grgh! GAAAHHHH!"
Yukimuto: 3800-300
"Hmph. So you got past this. I now activate the equip spell Rebellion Wings. As long as this is equipped to Dark Rebellion, it's ATK will the stay the same. So Dark Rebellion will keep his 5500 ATK points. I now set one card facedown and end my turn."
Turn 7
Yukimuto: 300
Hand: 2
Yuto: 3200
Hand: 1
"Ugh! I can't give up. Not now, not ever! My turn. I DRAW!" My hand suddenly turned purple as my eyes widened of the card I drew.
"I activate my trap Descending Lost Star! This card special summons a Synchro monster from my graveyard in DEF mode. Return to the field, Hydranoid!" The graveyard portal opened as Hydranoid arose from it and roaring. "However, the monster summoned by this effect has it's DEF dropped to zero and loses one lv."
Darkus Hydranoid: Lv. 8-7 DARK Dragon/Synchro ATK: 3000/ DEF: 2500-0
"I now summon the tuner monster Darkus Robotallion in ATK mode!"
Darkus Robotallion: Lv. 3 DARK Warrior/Tuner ATK: 1600/ DEF: 1800
"When this monster is summoned, I can special summon a lv 4 or lower Darkus monster from my graveyard! Return, Darkus Limulus!"
Darkus Limulus: Lv. 1 DARK Fish/Tuner ATK: 100/ DEF: 500
"The monster summoned by this effect loses it's effects but it's lv increases by 1!"
Limulus Lv: 1-2
My eyes started to glow harshly as a card flashed in my Extra Deck. "Let's do this! Now with my lv 2 Limulus and lv 3 Robotallion, I double tune with Hydranoid!"
"What!?" Yuto exclaimed. Both Limulus and Robotallion turned into 5 dark glowing rings as Hydranoid went through them. "The Hydra and the Darkness, are here and now! Darkened soul! Ravage this battlefield with your fierce power! Synchro Summon! Come forth, Level 12! Darkus Alpha Hydranoid!"
Darkus Alpha Hydranoid: Lv. 12 DARK Dragon/Synchro ATK: 4000/ DEF: 3000
My new three-headed Hydranoid stood tall as it stood against Dark Rebellion. "4000 ATK points. That's still not enough to reach Dark Rebellion's ATK!"
"Maybe not. But his special ability will! Once per turn, Alpha Hydranoid can target and reduce the ATK points of one monster on your field to 0! Go! Destroy Vanish!" My beast whirred it's chainsaw attached chest as it spun and tendrils started coming out of it's wings dragging Dark Rebellion in. "I don't think so! I activate the trap card Phantom Mist! This card prevents a Dark attributed monster on my field from being targeted by card effects!"
"Not this time! I play my final trap card! Counter trap Double Dimension Four! This trap card negates the effect of a trap card and destroys all magic and trap cards on the field!" The trap shined purple as Yuto's backrow went bare.
"No! Dark Rebellion!" The dragon shrieked in pain from the chainsaw attached to Alpha Hydranoid's chest.
Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon ATK: 5500-0
"Battle! Alpha Hydranoid attack Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon and end this duel! Terminal Trident!" Hydranoid charged up it's attack with three heads and destroyed Dark Rebellion wiping out the rest of Yuto's LP. "GAAAHHH!"
Yukimuto: 300(Winner)
Yuto: 0
I panted heavily as I walked over to Yuto who got up and looked at me. "I'm impressed."
"So...Are you going to tell me everything?" I asked. He sighed and nodded. "You might think this is crazy but bare with me."
He explained to me that he came from a dimension called the Xyz Dimension and is a member of the Resistance that fight against Duel Academy from the Fusion Dimension. I was shocked at this but the most shocking was that his hometown Heartland was invaded by Duel Academy and everyone that were victims turned into a cards. I gritted my teeth in anger but calmed myself. "So you came to this dimension to find some answers about Duel Academy." Yuto nodded.
"I see." I said. I turned to him. "Look. I may be someone from this city but I'm also from another dimension." Yuto's eye widened. "It's complicated and I would rather not tell you." Yuto nodded as he understood. "Yuto. Maybe I can help you. If Sora is a duelist from Duel Academy. I'll inform you." Yuto thought about it. 'He is a strange person to be coming from another dimension that's unheard of but I guess I'll do it.'
"Alright. It's a deal." Yuto lifted his duel disk as he was typing something and my duel disk beeped. "With this, you can come in contact with me anytime. See you then." Yuto said as he jumped to the rooftops.
I looked at my duel disk and saw that it was getting kinda late. "Well...Better get going." I said as I ran back to Yuya's house. But I didn't notice someone was spying on me from a rooftop.
Yuto stopped and looked at the LDS building and then sensed someone behind him. He turned and saw Shun Kurosaki with an angry face. "Yuto! Why did you give that stranger our information!?"
"I believe in him. I saw the look in his face and that he is determined to help us. He'll be our eyes and ears." Yuto explained. Shun turned and said,"I don't trust him, but if you're gonna waste your time teaming up with him, than I'm going alone on this." Shun jumped to a nearby rooftop and ran off.
Yuto turned to the sky. "Ruri. I swear that we will get you back and get back at Duel Academy for what they've done."
And done! Yukimuto has defeated Yuto and gotten his 4th win to qualify but after hearing about Yuto's story, Yuki is determined to help him and the Resistance in any way he can. Please be sure to Read & Review this chapter. See ya folks because the fun has only just begun!
